Professional Development:

I am currently attending Newman University. I am in the process of earning my Master’s degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in ESOL instruction. This degree will help me not only be more effective with my non-English speaking students but my students who speak only English!

Current Position:

This is my second year teaching at Frances Willard. In the fall of 2014, I completed my semester of student teaching here also. Immediately following graduation, I taught Intensive English classes at Ark City High School.

Family Information:

I have 3 daughters: Abby (6), Emilee (3), and Elizabeth (11 months). My oldest is currently a first grader here at Frances Willard. My husband is a graduate of Ark City High School and Frances Willard Elementary! He is currently a firefighter and paramedic in Ark City.

Personal Information:

I am a huge reader! I spend most of my free time reading some type of book! I often forget to complete other things because I get so involved in reading. I also enjoy cooking and baking. The majority of my free time is spent taking care of and playing with my kids and our wiener dog!
